Maya

Maya Bar has been around since February 2005 and has been growing with popularity very rapidily, with students, adults and tourists that come through the Wellington Region. Maya Bar is a place where you basically can do anything, from holding events to functions.

Meaning of Maya:

The woman who gave birth to Buddha Shakyamuni is called in the scriptures, Mahamaya, meaning Great Maya, or Mayadevi, the Goddess Maya. In Tibetan, she is called Gyutrulma. In English, she is generally called Queen Maya, a designation that obscures more than it reveals.

Maya is actually the Sanskrit term for Illusion in the sense of an interplay of Substance and Energy that contributes to our believing that there is something ‘there’. When our bodily organs of perception interact
with the interplay, we usually call the product of the interaction, Reality.

So Mahamaya actually means The Grandest Deception (or, Illusion) of all—that which convinces us of Existence. Which Maya Bar is, as we have the biggest lighting special effects show in Wellington to create that illusional effect.
